Thanks to Westwood Community Chest for sharing this news with Westwood Minute.
On Sunday night, December 8th, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., participants in Westwood Community Chest's third annual Luminary Night will help to set the town aglow, as they place paper bags containing battery operated tea lights along sidewalks, fences, doorsteps and outside homes, in support of the organization's efforts to raise funds for grants to assist Westwood residents in need.
Last year, WCC provided over $140,000 in emergency funding to grant applicants. WCC grants have aided the elderly, individuals and families alike, in times of job loss or other financial crisis. Children are also supported by WCC campership grants which help make safe summer activities more affordable.
Anyone can participate in Sunday's Luminary Night by purchasing a $20 luminary kit from the following locations: Décor & More, The Bean Farm, Neroli Mercato, and the WCC website.
The rain date for Luminary Night is Sunday, December 15, 2024.
Partly Cloudy , with a high of 52 and low of 39 degrees. Sunny in the morning, partly cloudy for the afternoon, overcast in the evening, clear overnight.
These are great strides in addressing concerns about a lack of openness and two way dialogue raised by Westwood citizens. Thanks to the Select Board and to Mr. Read for listening and acting.
Thank you Ms. Galkowski for this thoughtful acknowledgement of positive steps being made by our Town government. My generation loves the positive empowerment. Exemplary.
In promulgating the public comment policy, the Select Board has taken a big step towards showing willingness to engage in conversation with Westwood residents about the many important issues at hand—currently, the Fire Station 1 and the budget.
